  • Abstract
    Threshold losses reduce speed and increase power consumption of MOS digital circuits. A method to eliminate these losses is described. This is accomplished by the application of bootstrapping, in which a temporarily isolated circuit node is capacitatively coupled to the input voltage. The advantages of a MOS varactor element and its use for the coupling capacitor are described.
